LIGHTENING ROD ASCENSION



LIGHTENING ROD ASCENSION 
bolt hare, bolt hare
what feats bear fruit
charmed creatures from the foreboding sea
by width and depth harvesting extraterrestrial energy
a glade, a sunset, a flute, a cloud strike, a saber tooth, a dark cave
electric like scrambled mountains
this is part of your initiation ground streamer
to bathe in a phenomenon that dissipates the observer
toward higher elevations
this ballad of meteor folk
followed by coarse thunder
a prophecy

BROAD BOW


BROAD BOW
with minimal effort sea unicorns 
pierce through melting glaciers
a prized horned tooth 
sacred wand of northern lights
what else happens in these silent territories
vast waves continue to coyote hills
golden coins frolic in sunlight
in painting burnt umber, sienna, russet, or camel brown
particle the left bank of charcoal city
span the wing then thaw out

SWELLING EXTENT OF CERTAINTY LIKE BRICE


SWELLING EXTENT OF CERTAINTY LIKE BRICE
nothing is bound at the wild hour of midnight
caterpillars circle Saturn's many titan rings
slowly and meticulously swimming between particles
of water and ice
and many new new moons
this our good fortune, a flood
a constellation of surprises
you and I dance the low dip
at base and spine
a fiery leaping trombone crest
lily spirit guides doused in peach morganite
this variety of beryl is more than empty
